I'm looking for a book recommendation, for one which contains information regarding early Purdey cartridge guns. I have the book "The Early Purdeys" which mainly covers the muzzleloading era of manufacture, but I am interested in one that covers topics such as the various thumb hole action variants, pinfire guns, early centerfire hammer gun development...etc.
A book that includes early Purdey patent descriptions/drawings, would be very helpful, as would one with good photographs of said topics.
Does such an animal exist? If the information I seek is included in a larger work which includes information not solely limited to Purdey guns, I would also be interested in your recommendation.
